(8,267 posts)have posted herein above, but seem to be indulging in personal attacks rather than pro-nuke rhetoric. I have added one such to my IL, but the other is--thus far--too insipid to warrant a space on my ever growing list of verbal bullies, misogynists, sexists, racists and heterosexists.
I have an Omni magazine article that was published in 1980. Did you know that citizens proximal to above-ground tests were actually told when the tests were scheduled and were encouraged to have breakfast on the hoods of their cars so they could watch the mushroom clouds?!? Of course, this went awry when the wind shifted and several people were dosed with excessive radioactivity. The unhealthy doses of radioactivity and the resulting health issues were kept secret until intrepid reporters uncovered the cover-up.
I cannot understand why anyone supports nuclear power. If we had devoted as much time and money to wind and solar alternatives, everyone could have electricity without ginormous monthly bills.
